What makes D a failure and the reason it is on Just Adventure’s list of “turkeys” is exactly what is supposed to make it stand out. From the moment the game starts, players have exactly two hours to complete the game and there is no save function.

Tomer -- I wonder if games that released months ago on disk or via other online stores are at a disadvantage on Steam Greenlight. The question asked when you vote to greenlight a game, for instance, is "would you buy this game on Steam"? Well, if you already own a copy of it, the answer would likely be "no." So you vote for it because it's a good game, worthy of greenlighting, but a "yes" vote is (when you already own the game) technically not what they are asking.

It may also be that games that are still under development are more fun to vote for in general -- the speculation as to what they might be like is quite entertaining.

Does this make any sense?

InlandAZ -- after glancing at the "D" reviews, I now know tha that you are a better man than I am.

Yeah, makes perfect sense It's really only hardcore fans that would up-vote it just for the sake of the creators It's funny how there are no products on this planet that get me so attached and worried about them as adventures -- of course by up-voting it I don't necessarily mean I'll buy it (but don't tell steam!)

The game is totally controlled by the mouse for me without making any changes. Click and hold left mouse button to walk, move mouse for direction. The right button makes me jump. Don't have to use any keyboard.

I wandered around today and like it. It's not organic, but it's not metalic futuristic either. So far I've seen mostly block type buildings, one of which has a really cool 'waterfall' that you can follow.
